A typical post picks up 844 interactions against 220K followers, an engagement rate of 0.384%. Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 81% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 22K times each, and 3.90% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.86% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 27 posts sampled, 52% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 15x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #49ers, #auspol, #australia.

Compared with accounts its own size

Mike Carlton's engagement rate beats 81% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 81% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.384%, Mike Carlton sits above the 50th percentile of the 212,825 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.146% to 0.697%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 212,825 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,436 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 07:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video52% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 52% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 33% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 173 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    I'm very excited that Pete Hegseth is starting the Department of Religious Affairs. Since he married two of his mistresses and his family still seems very religious, I assume his own affairs were very wholesome and religious.

    Today we remember Charlie Kirk, a fearless political communicator who inspired millions of young people. Charlie was gunned down in cold blood a year ago today by a coward inspired by the evil idea that we should solve our political differences with violence. The best way we can defeat such evil is to live by Charlie's example and speak up for what we believe in. Charlie was a loving family man, and we should especially pause to pray for Erika and their children as they navigate life without a husband and father. Thank you to the Young Nationals for the graphic. I know Charlie meant so much to so many young people.
